Highly recommended, a quiet and magical place, all its inhabitants were empathetic, the animals are beautiful, it is a paradise of birds, fruits, river, and hot springs. The hosts are excellent people, very generous; the room you stay in is lovely and welcoming, I invite all travelers not to miss this opportunity 🫰

The place is really beautiful to disconnect and unwind, to learn to cook if it's part of your plan, a top spot for delicious food... Surround yourself with people who are willing to help you with anything you need. I really liked this experience and I'm grateful to everyone who was with me during these weeks.

For future volunteers: It would be very helpful to have knowledge of construction or improvement with wood, sticks, and plants.

I highly recommend it, really.

Thank you, thank you very much.

Ximena y John son dos personas maravillosas, de esas que no te cruzas todos los días. Me abrieron las puertas de su casa y me hicieron sentir en familia. Intercambiamos música, danza, comida, costumbres, juegos y risas. Fueron súper comprensivos en todos los aspectos, siempre dispuestos a escuchar y priorizando que esté cómoda con los trabajos propuestos. Les recomiendo que vayan al hotel, que se conecten con la naturaleza, imposible no enamorarse de las increíbles vistas. Nada más que palabras de agradecimiento para Xime y John. Los llevo en mi corazón y espero verlos pronto 🩷
